Bill said:

The first CD is normally /dev/cd0 so ``mount /dev/cd0 /mnt''
should do the trick.

The last time I ran an OSR 5.0.6a system's GUI desktop, there was
on icon on the desktop to mount/unmount the CD (which I used as
it was on a Compaq box which, as usual for Compaq, does things a
bit differently).



Scott asks:

That's got me almost there.

I'm trying:

	Mount -f ISO9660 -o lower /dev/cd0 /mnt


The cd mounts and I can cd to it and move around.  Only problem seems to
be truncated directory and file names.  Is there some option flag I'm
missing?


Regards,

Scott
